Adult kids coming home can eat a hole in mom and dad's budget

Adult children coming back home to live can put a serious dent in their parents' budget.

A survey by coupon company
vouchercloud.net found that the average
child returning home costs their parents $2,300 a year. More than half that cost is for food and
the additional expense for utilities runs $440 per year.

Generally, returning kids do help out with 63 percent contributing to the cost of living at
home.

The website notes that while it can be expensive for parents when an adult child return home, it
does have advantages, especially if the child has accumulated a lot of debt from college.
